Chapter 668 Sickness
Traditional Chinese medicine has always focused on regulating the qi in the patient's body. In addition to the theories related to the five movements and six qi, there are also the theories of "seven external qi" and "five external qi". With the evolution of the times, theories similar to traditional Chinese medicine have basically become Lost in oblivion.

Bian Mu believes that the terms "Seven External Qi" and "Five External Qi" still have some truth, and the relevant theories need to be further explored, but he currently does not have the ability to conduct in-depth research in this area.

There are many schools of traditional Chinese medicine, and the definitions of "seven external qi" and "five external qi" are quite different. Looking back from the perspective of medical logic, many have the shortcomings of vague concepts and varying definitions. In this regard, Bian Mu I have always had a lot of doubts.

When he has free time in the future, Bian Mu has always planned to explore the difficult parts of this theory. While inheriting the essence of traditional Chinese medicine, it is best to combine it with the advanced results of modern medicine to push it forward. At the very least, the most basic medical concepts must be clarified. The connotation and denotation of medical meaning should be explained in detail using the strict logic of New Chinese Medicine.

If one day comes, Bian Mu secretly thinks that he has some qualifications to start a sect.

Perhaps, in terms of career pursuit, Bian Mu is actually not too ambitious.

So far, Bian Mu has begun to independently study the "disease qi theory" he summarized in private. He divides "disease qi" into two categories, one is "inner qi", and the core theoretical basis follows the very research that has been done by predecessors. The perfect "Qi regulation" theory and medical practice, this part of the content is basically based on inheriting the previous theories. In the future, when conditions permit, we will eliminate the rough and retain the essence, expand and extend; the second category is summarized as follows "External qi", under external qi, is further subdivided into "spiritual qi", 'evil qi', 'violent qi'...and so on. Under "evil qi", it is further subdivided...and so on.

In recent months, Bian Mu has been trying to use the so-called "external energy" theory to explain the patients he receives. For example, the Lu family's former daughter-in-law, Ms. Fang, obviously has an "evil energy" inside and outside the Lu family. Bian Mu does not think it is a literary expression, it should be a medical description that must have a material basis, such as the Lu family's eating habits, the cultural psychology of the family, and the habits of dealing with others revealed in daily life...

The "evil spirit" unique to the Lu family could hardly be felt by Bian Mu at the home of Professors Shen and Fang, the parents-in-law of the Lu family.

Although Bian Mu had only met face-to-face with Ms. Fang once, the strong, complex, and deep-rooted... "evil spirit" that came out of her shocked Bian Mu. In his opinion, It is a kind of real "sickness" that can be observed, researched, and detected. It is definitely not some indescribable, mysterious, ethereal consciousness.

Bian Mu believes that the Lu family is full of evil spirits, and Ms. Fang has actually been "infected". However, her natal family, professors Shen and Fang, have a clean and tidy house and a clean atmosphere everywhere. , "Li Qi", as the biological daughter of two professors, two completely opposite "Qing" and "Eclipse" Qi coexist in her body at the same time. While they repel each other, they also attract and breed each other...

According to modern medical theory, Ms. Fang should have been trapped in a kind of spiritual purgatory of "double tendencies conflict". It is for this reason that Ms. Fang manifested neurosis, psychosis, moderate schizophrenia of a psychological nature... etc. symptom.

For this special condition, Bian Mu has formulated a general treatment principle: eliminate evil and strengthen the righteousness, support the root and clear the source, so as to completely cure it.

For Bian Mu, the complete cure of Ms. Fang and her young son may become a major milestone in his medical career. As long as he works hard to cross this extremely difficult technical threshold for difficult and complicated diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, in a sense, , he may really be able to surpass Nie Yixiong and others, and thus grow into a brand new professional doctor of traditional Chinese medicine with a profound sense of modern medicine.

By then... there will be a certain foundation for establishing a sect.

In the same way, Fan Sanqiao also has some kind of illness in his body, but the degree is much milder than that of Ms. Fang.

Compared with normal healthy men of the same age, Fan Sanqiao has insufficient Qi, weak confidence, and gradually declining vitality... It is actually difficult to completely cure it with the help of traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as acupuncture, decoction, and massage.

Practicing the simplest and highly simplified traditional martial arts can be regarded as a simple and effective auxiliary treatment method.Bian Mu plans to try it seriously, carefully and patiently.

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman. It was late at night and the light was not good. She looked neither urban nor rural. Her speech had a strong "Jianghu flavor". Looking at her words and expressions, Bian Mu guessed that the person in front of her was The female stall owner must have practiced Chuan Wu for several years.

The scabbard has obvious damage, but its production process is quite satisfactory. It doesn't look like it was made by a professional liar in a special workshop. With the knife in hand, Bian Mu stretched out his left hand to measure the number. Bottom, the blade is about 70CM, the handle is a bit longer, about 20CM, the hand guard is made of pure copper, and it is made of old copper, with no trace of modern industrial craftsmanship.

The copper handguards were made into the shape of a "Buddhist angry lion". This shape is extremely rare in traditional old weapon styles. In Bian Mu's impression, this was the first time he had seen it. Moreover, he believed that those "skilled craftsmen" who specialize in forgery "It is impossible for us to come up with such an artistic and high-quality shape in this life.

"Theoretically, this should be a genuine sword!" Mu thought to himself as he weighed it.

Shaking a few sword flowers at random, Bian Mu guessed that the brand-new saber in his hand weighed at least four kilograms.

"It may be a bit heavy for you, come on! Try it!" As he spoke, Bian Mu casually handed the brand-new saber to Fan Sanqiao.

With the knife in his hand, Fan Sanqiao imitated the scenes in movies and TV series and made a few false cuts left and right in a "water-dividing style".

"No! I feel pretty good at it." Fan Sanqiao responded with a smile.

At this time, the female stall owner said a few words in a cold tone: "Let me tell you, you two, you don't use this as a fitness knife, right? Damn! This is a genuine licensed product, and it costs at least 5000 oceans!"

As soon as he heard this, Fan Sanqiao was happy.

"Sister! Don't bring such a deceptive thing. The shape of the blade, the blade, the edge... it looks like the prop knife used in the movie theater. You want 5000 for this. You really think we are fools. !" Okay!Fan Sanqiao showed timidity as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Tch! You don't understand anything and you are still talking nonsense here. Give me back the knife!" As she spoke, the female stall owner reached out and asked Fan Sanqiao for the brand-new saber.

Seeing her like that, Bian Mu quickly took a few steps, stood between the two of them, took the brand-new saber from Fan Sanqiao's hand, and made a "sword style" with the handle facing the woman, The edge of the knife was facing towards him, he clasped his hands together, and handed the knife back to the person respectfully.

Seeing this scene, the female stall owner couldn't help but be slightly startled, but did not take the brand-new saber.
